When I was a tiny tot, I watched Knight Rider and pretended I was Michael Knight, talking to KITT on my watch.

Google thinks it's finally time for smartwatches. Its Android Wear collaboration with LG goes on pre-order today in 12 countries, including the US, Canada, UK, Germany, South Korea and Japan.

A short promo video for the device doesn't introduce much in the way of details, but if you want to see its Androi...

LG's new flagship phone is coming: the company told us to expect the G3 later this quarter, with a screen resolution going beyond the (increasingly standard) 1080p spec.
